Hundreds of protesters marched across Mogadishu’s Lido beach on Monday to condemn the August 2 attack. “What had happened here was mass killing and it is a national disaster and someone needs to be accountable for it. I advise all Somali youth to be alert to what is going on in Mogadishu. At least 37 civilians were killed and 212 were injured in an explosion at a popular beach restaurant Lido beach on Friday. There was no immediate claim of responsibility by the al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab, which has claimed similar attacks in the past, including the car bomb attack in 2022.
